Toedte told News 3's Merris Badcock she and her friend do not always use the buddy system when walking home at night.

“I do tend to walk alone. I mean especially with finals going on right now, a lot of people are leaving the library at 2:00 in the morning, walking home.”

Police recommend all students walk in groups or with a trusted friend, especially at night.

Many of the bars and restaurants located along Scotland Street told News 3 they happily call cabs for patrons who have had too much to drink, and would be happy to do so for a student who did not want to walk home alone.

Police also recommended using the Uber app if students need a cab ride.
